In the frenzy of the combat sports world, a storm is brewing—and it’s named Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The announcement of this unexpected match sent waves through the industry, sparking heated debate and speculation. But amid the chaos, one voice stood out and spoke boldly: Nate Diaz.
Diaz chose his champion: “Iron Mike” Tyson
As anticipation rises for the fight scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, Nate Diaz made his stance clear. The Stockton native, known for his toughness in the UFC Octagon, expressed his support for boxing legend Mike Tyson in an exclusive interview. “Mike Tyson a GOAT’s man,” Diaz said, his words carrying the weight of years spent in combat sports. “I’m with Mike Tyson, so we’ll see what happens. I think he’s seen it all, yeah…”
Diaz’s admiration for Tyson comes not from his respect for the boxing icon, but from his own experience. Diaz will fight Jake Paul in a showdown in 2023, delving into the unique challenges that come with the transformation of a YouTube star into a boxer. Although Diaz’s meeting failed, Diaz’s understanding is interesting in his predictions.

Tyson and Paul argue
However, the fight between Tyson and Paul was not without criticism. From pure boxers to former champions, the criticism is endless. Former two-time world champion Ricky Hatton wasted no time expressing his distaste for what lies ahead.
Despite the skepticism, the campaign’s appeal remains undeniable, capturing the attention of fans and critics alike. However, in this fight, Diaz has more to gain from this fight.
Diaz’s hit list: McGregor, Paul and others
In full force, Nate Diaz revealed his plans outside the ring. While a fight against Conor McGregor is possible, Diaz isn’t limiting himself to past fights. His list includes McGregor, Jake Paul, and Leon Edwards, indicating that he wants to settle scores and leave his legacy in fighting sports history.
But the road ahead is full of uncertainty. Diaz remains a clear free agent and questions remain about his return to the UFC. Can he get the fights he wants, including pitting him against McGregor to break up their fight?
